Cui'er sobbed uncontrollably, "My man was slashed twice by them, I don't even know if he's still alive, waaaaaah..."

Cui'er's family was already small; her husband was an only child, and the family's elders had passed away one after another in the past two years. This time, the three of them were left with only the family when they fled, and now they had encountered trouble on the road. They didn't know how they would survive in the future.

"Cui'er, stop crying. We didn't see your man's body. Maybe he was rescued by the clansmen. Let's go to Ganzhou City together. He's probably waiting for you two there!"

Sun is usually sharp-tongued but kind-hearted; she can say all sorts of hurtful things. But when it comes to a critical moment, she can still say a few nice things. After all, it concerns someone's life, and she wouldn't kick someone when they're down.

"Yes, Auntie, all of us were saved by Brother Lu and Aunt Jiu. If we survive to reach the new place, our whole family will serve you like slaves to repay your kindness!"

Speaking of this, Sun glared at He Jiu Niang. They said they were supposed to come and scout ahead first, but instead they wiped out the bandits' den. How disrespectful to the bandits!

Moreover, just hearing the eldest brother say that He Jiuniang had single-handedly stormed the bandit's den made her break out in a cold sweat. This woman was getting more and more reckless!

He Jiuniang chuckled twice, wondering how to explain, when she noticed the puppy clinging tightly to her leg, shouting loudly as if making a vow: "Mommy is awesome, beat the bad guys!"

These past two days, He Jiuniang has been secretly feeding the dog medicine and giving it three bamboo tubes of milk every day without fail. Its frail body has become much stronger, and now it shouts out this sentence with great vigor, which is quite amusing.

The grieving people nearby were also amused. He Jiuniang picked up her son and kissed him, then turned to look at everyone and said, "Our arrival here was by chance. As the saying goes, there's always a way out. I just found the bandits' warehouse, which has food and drink inside. Let's go and take the food out and divide it up. As long as we don't get robbed and we're careful with our food and drink, we should be able to make it to Anzhou."

This was something no one had expected. They thought that even if they got out of here, they might starve or die of thirst on the way. They never thought they would stumble upon the bandits' warehouse!

Now, a renewed sense of hope for the future filled everyone's eyes. As long as they had food and drink, they were sure they could make it to Anzhou. It would be best if they could reunite with their families. Even if they couldn't, they wouldn't starve to death in the new place as long as they worked hard.

So, a large group of people went to the cellar at the back. The cellar was not big, and it was not practical for a whole group of people to rush in.

"Dad, let a few of us go down and move the things out. You and the uncles are injured, so you should rest."

Lei Zi took the initiative to step forward, which pleased Boss Lu, who patted his son on the shoulder as a reward.

Lei Zi called Tie Dan and two other boys he didn't recognize to go inside. When they saw what was inside, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Dad, there's so much food, water, and meat!"

This shout excited everyone outside, and Qin quietly asked, "What kind of meat is that?"

Upon hearing this, the smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze. They had all seen the skulls in the bandits' house, and the children had almost been boiled when they were first captured.

“I went to see it before, it was just pork, beef and fish.”

He Jiuniang explained first, and everyone was completely relieved. The children cheered and celebrated again.

He Jiuniang smiled but remained silent. For some reason, seeing the excitement and the light in the eyes of the people around her, she felt that her existence in this world had meaning.

It's no exaggeration to say that if she hadn't come, and hadn't had her own infinite space, the Lu family members wouldn't be alive today.

It took the boys most of the hour to empty the cellar, find a flat spot to put it away, and wait for it to be distributed.

Because there were more women and children, the eldest woman, Sun, was in charge of distributing the grain and silver according to the number of people.

There were a total of 32 people, and each person received more than half a bag of grain and three taels of silver.

Since the water was difficult to divide, it was put into a vat for everyone to use together, with each person receiving one bamboo tube's worth per day.

As for meat, there wasn't much dried fish or rabbit meat, but there was plenty of pork and beef, enough for each person to have two jin (1 kg).

After the distribution, there were four taels of silver left. Cui'er and the others decided to give it to the Lu family. After all, the Lu family had saved their lives. Moreover, these things were originally the Lu family's spoils of war. They could have kept them, but the Lu family gave them all away, and they were very grateful.

Mu Zhuang Erniu also got his share. The two men almost cried as they held the grain. The Lu family was so generous; they really shared the good stuff!

After the thatched huts were tidied up, everyone found their own rooms to rest. The Lu family all stayed together, and they had gotten used to it over the years.

As I said before, their family must always be together.

As soon as she closed the door, Madam Sun's heart ached, and she scolded He Jiu Niang in a low voice: "You spendthrift woman! You saw those good things first, why didn't you take some of them? It's good enough to save their lives, but you still have to give so much silver. You don't know the value of money when you're not in charge of the household! That's a hundred taels of silver, enough for our family to settle down properly when we get to Anzhou!"

The others kept their heads down and didn't speak. Everyone has their own selfish motives. That was a hundred taels of silver, more than they could earn in a lifetime. With that money, their whole family could live a wealthy life for decades without having to work in the fields.

Instead of being angry, He Jiuniang laughed and deliberately retorted, "But it was Mother who decided to distribute that money!"

Sun glared angrily, twisted her arm, and said irritably, "That's all been seen by others, how can you keep it a secret? You can't judge a book by its cover! A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment. How could you, a spendthrift woman, understand such things!"

Sun didn't actually use any force; she just wanted to find an outlet for her frustration.

He Jiuniang was amused by her. This little old lady was really interesting. She could scold people harshly, but she couldn't bring herself to use force.

Thinking back to my past life, I was all alone and had no idea what it felt like to have family around.

Now that she has such a large family to rely on, she is very satisfied with how she gets along with them.

Madam Qin also said, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, there are a few who aren't members of our Lu family. Who knows what they're thinking? You'd better be more careful next time!"

"Haha, how did you know I didn't take it?"

He Jiuniang couldn't help but laugh out loud. She grabbed her tattered little bundle and took out two silver notes and a handful of jewelry.

Sun snatched it away to look at it, and a group of children gathered around.

"Third Aunt, you're amazing!"

Youya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. On the way here, she was already shocked when her uncle told her that her third aunt had single-handedly stormed the bandit's den. Now, seeing her third aunt bring out so many good things, her eyes immediately started sparkling with hearts.

My third aunt is truly a heroine!

He's her idol!
